Creating a custom article treatment funtion?

Creating a custom article treatment funtion?

[Emerick Rogul]

Hello,

I'd like to make my own custom article treatment (like, say,
gnus-treat-hide-signature).  I can deal with writing the function, but
I'm not sure I know all of the places where it needs to be hooked into
pgnus.  Could someone tell me exactly how I hook my function into
pgnus (e.g. which hooks I might need to update and/or auxilliary
functions I might need to create).  An example of one someone else has
created would be great.  Thanks!

Heh, that's funny.  The article treatment routine I want to write is
one that will remove the Onelist ads :)  Quite annoying, aren't they?

Why can't you hide them?  There is a variable
message-signature-separator as well as a variable
gnus-signature-separator.  Surely frobbing one of these will help?

Sounds like you're looking for banner removal.

I have a group fed from a Onelist server; it has

 (banner . "^\\( +~~~.*\n +Check out our Daily Cartoon.*\n +<a href=\".+\">Click Here</a>.*\\|-------------------+ ONElist Sponsor ----------------+\n\\)\n\\(.\\|\n\\)*")

in the group parameters; you can edit this from Custom if you prefer.
(Sorry for the long line)

You might need to change the regular expression for your particular
list banner, but the idea is sound.

Yes, it does...  This one managed to escape my attention somehow.
Thanks Jonas!

Well, you can just stick whatever function you want in
`gnus-part-display-hook'.
